Famous quotes containing the word world:
“One story recounts that a Tennessean, after a single day in the then almost impenetrable tangle of cypress, briars, and canebreaks, pestered by myriads of mosquitoes, and bogged in the heavy gumbo mud, declared: Arkansas is not part of the world for which Jesus Christ diedI want none of it.”
